Sumptuous feast ..a 'must-have',
By
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur (Paperback)
Being from India and having lived for many years in Delhi, I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who plans to travel to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.
The book presents very interesting information on a variety of important 'background' topics that can enrich visitors' experience of their visit to these cities. Knowing something about the history of the region, the religions, architectural styles, music, dance, styles of jewelry etc. can help appreciate the context for the sights, monuments, artefacts, customs and cultures that you will encounter. The text and explanations are lively and well written. The illustrations and the photographs are the best part of the book. Having wandered the streets of Chandni Chowk and spent many many hours enjoying the treasures of the National Museum in Delhi, the text and pictures in the book transported me back to the place that I remember so well. I've travelled to Agra and Jaipur many times on work and I wish I had had the benefit of a guide like this to help me enjoy the sights more richly. I am travelling back there with my family later this year and this is a book that you can be sure I will have in my pack!

Best guide I've found,

This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur (Paperback)
Like all Eyewitness Guides, this is a very clever use of graphics and text to provide an informative and easily accessible travel guide. I've found this guide (as others in the series) to be exceptionally good on guiding one through the key sights, but not as useful as some others (e.g. Lonely Planet) in details on restaurants, hotels, shops, etc. One tradeoff for the high quality graphics is that the paper is heavier - so these guides are somewhat more burdensome to carry than most guidebooks.
